This legislation, titled the "U.S. Participation in International Expositions Act," aims to authorize the Secretary of State to provide federal funds for United States pavilions or other major exhibits at international expositions and world's fairs. Historically, a statutory restriction enacted in 1994 limited federal funding, forcing the U.S. to rely solely on private sector fundraising for its presence at these global events. This reliance often led to significant challenges, including missed participation opportunities and, notably, the U.S. pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai being funded by the host country. The bill addresses these issues by repealing the limitation on the use of funds for international expositions , thereby allowing the Department of State to utilize available funds for this purpose. Before obligating funds, the Secretary of State must notify appropriate congressional committees at least 15 days in advance, providing details such as the source of funds, estimated investment benefits for the U.S., and expected non-governmental contributions. Furthermore, the notification must include a description of how entities receiving funds will certify compliance with host country labor laws, anti-corruption laws, and ensure they do not employ victims of trafficking. A final report detailing U.S. business participation and other funding sources is also required after the pavilion opens, ensuring accountability and promoting consistent American engagement on the global stage.
